Hi Hussein, Thanks for getting back to me on this point.
After some further analysis I've determined that it's not actually necessary to modify Ref fields to Hyperlinks in the original document. Instead it's possible to modify the topic.xslt template in a minor way to handle the different anchor elements that are supplied to the template for Ref and Hyperlink fields: e.g. Ref field: <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; class="role-xref" href="#step_reference" title="Conversion step reference"/> Hyperlink field: <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; href="#option_p">–p</a> The change that I've made to the topic.xslt is to insert this code within the processXref named template: <!-- If title is populated for xref element then extract the text --> <xsl:if test="@class = 'role-xref'"> <xsl:variable name="title" select="normalize-space(@title)"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$title != ''"> <xsl:value-of select="$title"/> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:if> I don't know if this is of interest to you but I thought that I'd mention my solution to the problem. NB I know that there is a more elegant way to override these template matches than directly modifying your templates but I'm having some trouble getting that working for map creation.
